If this is a big incident then a full course yellow is declared and a pace car is deployed. The field file in behind it until the circuit is deemed safe, whereupon the safety car peels into the pitlane and the race resumes.
With Code 6, which is implemented with a designated flag deployed at the marshal points around the circuit, cars are then required to reduce their speed to 60 km/h maximum and circulate at this speed until the Code 60 is lifted and racing resumes. During the slow down period marshals can attend to the incident/accident safely without interrupting the race.

I´m aware of the code 60 proceedings, looking for an explanation why the first 5 cars in line (at the head of the leading group?) are not allowed to pit on the first time they came up to pitlane when code 60 is just implemented.
